Abstract

Given that light is hard to reach deep tumor tissue, how to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy is a big challenge. Herein, we proposed the supramolecular polymer self-assemblies (HACP) with bis[2,4,5-trichloro-6 (pentyloxycar-bonyl) phenyl] oxalate as the cargos (HACP@CPPO) to realize the chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET)-induced generation of 1O2 in situ. HACP was prepared by cinnamaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-CA) and β-cyclodextrin-modified protoporphyrin IX (β-CD-PPIX) via host-guest interactions. The CA moiety could elevate H2O2 levels for the enhanced production of chemical energy and macrocyclic CD could enhance the stacking distance of PPIX for enhanced 1O2 yield. Thus, HACP@CPPO exhibited excellent antitumor performance without light irradiation.
